AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.
Their Notions and Ours.

Nude polls ia the name given to
Charleston, w. Va, by some peo-
pie on account of the condition OF
the streets and sidewalks.-Butle-
tin.
Rev. Vibbert Of Boston, in a
Tenn perance Address in Charleston
the other day, called it the cham
pion mudhole of America, but a
delightful city above the surface.
The Commissioners of Kanawha
county decided to grant whisky
license, and now the average legis.
iator can step in and get his grog
without reference to the little jug
slowed away in his room.-Limcotra
Citizen.
The foregoing is both a mistake
and libel. The commissioners did
not grant license neither does the
average legislator in these Prohi-
bition days have any use for
filthy bar-rOOm or q Jug.
Mr.. McWhorter was then called
for the previous question, which
was sustained, and the resolution
was read a third time and passed.
-Regaster.
Why couldn't the Register give
in this connection the names of
the fifty five members who stood
for the Home with the ten who
stood for the Saloon?
Concerning the reformatory ef-
tects of high license, D. L. Moody
saws that Chicago under high Ii
cense is more wicked, and the sa-
looms more outrageous than ever
before.-New Era.
Y'his from a man who is opposed
to Party Prohibition is significant.
The Prohibition element has
given the Democracy the victories
thev have won in this State in the
past four years.-N Y. World.
That is a candid confession and
the solid truth.-E1chonse.
And the Prohibition party will
send the Democracy higher than
Gilderoy's kite went, before it is
DONE Weltsburg Herald.
Yes, the Prohibition party pro-
poses to be impartial in its deal
ings with whatever blocks its prog
ress.
The edict has gone forth, "The
saloon must co. and it matters not
whether it's barricades be Republi-
can or Democratic, the iconoclastic
hammer of Prohibition is suspend
ed above them, and destruction,
like doom, awaits them.
The editor of the IsteIl5gencer
seeks light. He needs it. He
opens his columns to calm and dig
.nitied discussion of the Prohibi-
ton question, 'preferring argument

Now if there is one subject upon
which the editorial columns OF the

than another, it is upon the one

Carter, w. P. Walker, and T. b.

Seeing that no liquor law is en-

Tumors and Cancers Of the Eye.

There are certain tumors that are
apt to grow within the eye-ball or in
the orbit, interfering with the vision
by the pressure they give rise to, or by
destruction of the essential structures
Of the organ Of sight. The retina it.
self may give origin to tumor
(glioma or sarcoma) which will de-
stroy the eye, and, eventually, the life
of the sufferer. Such tumors are to be
observed mostly, if not entirely, in
children. They give peculiar yellow
tint to the eye when looked at closely,
somewhat reminding one Of the eyes
of the cat Extirpation Of the eye-ball
early offers the only hope Of saving
life, and this is generally doomed to
disappointment. The growth returns
to the orbit or within the brain, and
ends by killing the patient after
months of suffering. Cancer, in any
of its varieties, may attack the eye-ball
or its surroundings in the orbit, even
the bone not escaping its ravages. Its
end is in death, Unless life is cut short
by other disease. st. Louis Globe,
Democrat.
